"Borealis had serious failures on a large compressor, the cause of which could not be found. The talk shows how potential root causes were determined with historical process data in a collaboration with technicians and data specialists. In addition, the talk gives a comprehensible explanation of data analysis algorithms to strengthen the confidence and willingness to use them in industry."

"In this project we implemented a text mining solution to evaluate technical notifications completely automatically on a daily basis. Challenging was to fulfil the regulatory requirements and still have a process flow that business user can change or interact with the results."

Dr. Michael Sokolov, COO, DataHow

"Industrial companies today collect more and more data, continuously and from more sources than ever. To make use of this data, statistics can help. But it is often met with reluctance and prejudice. However, applying statistics today is an easy, almost playful task. Find out how modelling and machine learning can be used to understand complex patterns and relationships in your data."

Moussa Diakhité, Real time Engineer, Air Liquide France Industrie

"With the centralization and digitalization of its operation Air Liquide has changed its usage of the data. The implementation of SIO streams and a contextual database for time series data are part of thoses changes."

Sebastian Dörr

Sebastian Dörr
Vice President Sales, CONWEAVER GmbH, Germany

"Increasing process complexity and rapid data growth require new technologies for data usage, mostly where dependencies about data silos are needed. The Graph technology overcomes these silos and provides this contextual knowledge to owner and operator. In addition, the information context AI procedure serves as a basis for Big Data Analytics. Make Your Big Data smart."

Dr. Rene Fassbender

"Every company that possesses or collects significant amounts of data needs to face the topics of Smart Data and AI today to be able to survive in the market in 10 years."

Mirko Hardtke

Mirko Hardtke
Business Development Manager, Data Virtuality GmbH, Germany

"According to a study by the Fraunhofer IAO and the IT industry association BITCOM, the networking of product development, production, logistics and chemical customers could result in an increase of 30 percent in their added value till 2025. In other words, whoever succeeds in making data usable along and across the entire value chain will gain a drastic competitive advantage."

Dr. Thomas Hansmann, Managing Director, CDV Advisory

"The perfect Big Data initiatives portfolio is balanced between explorative, highly innovative topics and return-oriented topics."

Dr. Tobias Harland

Dr.-Ing. Tobias Harland
Senior Manager, Industrie 4.0 Maturity Center GmbH, Germany

"Digitalization promises high potential for producing companies, but many struggle with the transformation. I will hand out a digitalization plan and show, this is more than a IT topic"

Dr.-Ing. Martin Hollender, Researcher, ABB Corporate Research Center

"AI is like teenage sex:
Everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it..."
